Ideas and suggestions: 2D barcode scanner that will read a smartphone screen for library cards - install a free barcode generator to create library card 1. Trick or Treat - pay your fine and get a Halloween treat 2. Food for fines - from mid-November until winter break, bring in canned food: 1 can = $1 off fine (not valid for lost books). food is added to school's food drive or given to a local food pantry 3. Sweetheart Deal - half off fine if paid during week before Valentine's Day 4. Spring Cleaning - half off fine if paid during week before (or after) Spring Break 5. Lunchroom and classroom visits (with teacher approval) by the Grim Reaper - gets the kids' attention and their peers say "ooh, you better pay up!"
